Biography
Vincenzo Terranova was born in May 1886 in Corleone, Sicily, the brother of Nicholas Terranova and the half-brother of Giuseppe Morello. In 1893, the family moved to New York City in the United States, and Terranova joined his half-brother Giuseppe's gang in Harlem. In 1922, the rebellious Morello gangster Salvatore D'Aquila decided to seize control of the family from Morello and Joe Masseria, and he sent Umberto Valenti to murder Terranova, the boss of the Morellos after the murder of Nicholas by the Camorra. Terranova was murdered in a drive-by shooting near his home on East 116th Street in Manhattan on 6 May 1922.
